Strive to be a good citizen slogan

Time:

About a.d. 1900

Background:

After the Second Opium War, foreign missionaries went deep into the inland provinces of China, and churches spread all over China. Relying on the protection of the privilege of aggression, foreign missionaries dominated one side at will. In addition to all kinds of political and cultural aggression, they also condone and shelter local ruffians and hooligans, oppress citizens, occupy land, cover all lawsuits, murder people and other evil activities. Local officials in the Qing Dynasty succumbed to the pressure of foreign invaders, and many religious cases were caused by "people's grievances" in the disputes between the people and religion. The contradiction between the masses and foreign church missionaries is extremely sharp. They set about burning churches and killing foreign priests one by one, which eventually led to the outbreak of the Boxer Rebellion.

Slogan:

Yang Fuqing

Reason for failure:

Subjectively: 1. Without the advanced leadership of the party and the guidance of scientific theory, it is a spontaneous mass activity; 2. Blindness of action and lack of goals; 3. There is no strict organizational form; 4. The boxer's thought of "helping the Qing Dynasty to destroy the foreign countries" is easy to relax the vigilance against the rulers of the Qing Dynasty, and it is also blind and exclusive, showing the limitations of the peasant class. Objectively speaking, the combined force of Chinese and foreign forces is strong.

Meaning:

First of all, the Boxer Rebellion shows the lofty patriotism, great anti-aggression spirit and unyielding spirit of China people against imperialism and its lackeys, and shows the strength of the Chinese nation.

Secondly, the boxer movement also dealt a heavy blow to the reactionary rule of the Qing government, the running dog of imperialism.

Thirdly, the Boxer Rebellion had a great influence on the national liberation movement in Asian countries.
